Most successful No.4 batsmen for India in ODIs

Yuvraj Singh

Yuvraj Singh has been a proven match-winner for India with his batting.

Few people have had a bigger impact on the Indian cricket's limited over side than Yuvraj Singh. Ever since his international debut against Australia in 2000, Yuvraj was a constant member of the illustrious Indian middle order. Batting at number five or six early on in his career, he became India's permanent batsman for the two down slot in the latter part of his career. Playing 108 of his 278 ODI innings at the all important position, the southpaw scored 3415 runs at an average of 35.12 and a healthy strike rate of 90. His career best score of 150, which he scored against England last year, also came batting at the same position. The fact that his career average of 36 is only marginally more than his average at this position clearly shows that his performance at number four was exceptional.
